Presentation: CASSA Intercultural Collaborative Project

||

On Friday, March 1st, Samya Hasan, Executive Director of the Council of Agencies Serving South Asians (CASSA) led a presentation about their Intercultural Collaborative project to foster anti-racism and anti-discrimination in communities around Toronto. AHC alongside several other local community-serving agencies were able to engage in a discussion with Samya in order to learn more about how CASSA's success with its anti-racism initiatives can be replicated in Edmonton and the ALberta region.

In addition, participants were able to learn about their experiences involving anti-racism, anti-oppression, and project management training and how they recruited participants from racialized communities.
